Legendary actor Hugh Jackman says he thought Jimmy Kimmel did a really good job as host of the Oscars, in what was a very difficult year to do it.
Jackman told WOR’s “Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning” it was a complicated show to host because of the past year in politics and everything surrounding the “Me Too” movement.
“It was a tough job and I thought he did really well. I thought he did really well last year,” Jackman said.
Jackman starred in “The Greatest Showman,” which featured the Oscar nominated song “This Is Me.” The song was performed by Keala Settle at the show, with Jackman remembering her audition for the movie.
“She was so good, the head of the studio lept out of his chair, ran over to her mid-performance and hugged her and just said, ‘You just booked your first major motion picture,’ and there she was last night at the Oscars,” Jackman said.
